"True to a life-long interest in underground extreme Metal, Season of Mist will release the full back catalogue of Norwegian cult act ILDJARN, as well as the ILDJARN-NIDHOGG and SORT VOKTER productions. Here is the comprehensive list of reissues:

All 15 reissues will be available digitally in the upcoming weeks and most of them will hit the stores in physical editions later on. More information soon!

Is this a fucking joke?!

Young people need to have their iPods filled - everybody else? Tough luck, it seems.

The pre-release, for lack of a better term, of albums in digital format before the physical formats isn't unusual, and not only for "major" labels, but to actually not release a record (that isn't some newcomer band's demo tape, but an established act's discography) out of a connected series of releases in any other format is really idiotic.

I don't mind the digital release, but this turns matters into "earning some easy money". Audio files will always sound inferior to a professionally produced, physical audio carrier. Of course, I also fear that this'll mean I won't come by physical copies of Ildjarn records I don't own yet.

Nonetheless, I welcome widespread availability of Ildjarn's music.
